Hi,For some reason no V-speeds are called out during the t/o roll in the 747 even though I have that option checked under the PMDG options menu and the FMC correctly programmed before t/o. 80 knots however is called out. Anyone with an idea what might be wrong?And also another question, is the push-back gauge only available when in the 2D panel or is it to be found in the VC as well somewhere?

Richard,The only thing I can suggest is that you did not confirm V1, Vr and V2 on the TAKEOFF REF screen by pressing LSK1R, 2R and 3R when setting up the FMC. The speeds will go to large letters and numbers. The yellow notice No VSPD alongside the speed tape on the PFD should also be off.Your second question I am afraid I cannot answer. The little pushback panel on the Comm panel in the 2D mode is not present in the VC version.David.

Thanks alot David, I'm sure you're right - will try it on my next flight.And about the second question...that's what I have found too...thought I might have missed something.
